Record crowds return to Lititz
for the rain-delayed 4th fest
RICHARD REITZ
AND STEPHEN SEEBER
Record Express Staff
It couldn’t have been a more per­fect
day for a Fourth of July celebra­tion...
even if it was on the Eighth.
A July 8 Independence Day celeb­ration
didn’t dissuade the crowds, as
a record crowd flocked to Lititz
Springs Park for the rescheduled
event, following a postponement due
to bad weather on July 4.
Ron Reedy, park board president,
said between 12,000-15,000
attended Lititz Springs Park on
Saturday, a result he credits to a com­bination
of great weather, a reputable
show, and that it was the only celeb­ration
taking place in Lancaster
County.
On this unusually cool summer
day, the crowd trickled into the park
around 4 p.m., taking in the food
stands, petting zoo, and accepting the
challenges of various games.
“I was initially concerned because
it did not seem like the people were
showing up,” Reedy said, especially
following record receipts of $15,000
from the same time on the Fourth.
“In the end it worked out,” he said,
adding that the additional costs for
security and other expenses “was not
that great.”
Harold Dull of the Lititz Fire
Police said the crowd grew immense­ly
as the evening highlights
approached.
‘Traffic really started to pick up
around 7:30 p.m.,” Dull said, busy
with fellow fire policeman Charlie
Getz assisting pedestrians across a
busy Broad Street near the park
entrance.
“We’re having a problem with jay­walkers,”
he said, which made their
job even tougher.
The evening entertainment kicked
off with an encore performance by
The Moonlighters, recapturing the
sound of the Big Band Era with tunes
like “Sweet Georgia Brown” and
“Jersey Bounce” by the Benny
Goodman Band:
They were followed by a crowd­pleasing
performance by John
Bressler, who performed his one-man
keyboard show before an enthu­siastic
packed park.
His repertoire ranged from well-known
tunes like Elton John’s
“Circle of Life” and “Memory” from
the hit Broadway musical Cats, to
boot-slapping country hits, a tribute

Lititz is a town rich with history and tradition, with
facinating places that attract thousands of visitors
every year, and numerous individuals who make this
a special place to live. ,
As a tribute to a unique community, The Lititz

It is internationally acclaimed, yet remains rela­tively
unknown among the residents of Lititz.
It is the Heritage Map Museum, and while global­ly
reknowned for its impressive collection, owner
James Hess said most of his visitors are from distant
lands rather, than from Lancaster County.
“Most are tourists who have seen brochures, read
articles in their city newspapers, or have seen adver­tisements
in national magazines,” he said.
While talking with the Lititz Record, a family
from Ontario, Canada came into his 55 N. Water St.
museum, supporting that statement.
They said they learned about the museum through
a brochure, but had trouble locating it once they
arrived in Lititz. It seems that when they stopped in
downtown Lititz to ask for directions, no one seemed
to know anything about a map museum.
Located next to the railroad tracks on Water
Street, Hess opened the museum on Memorial Day in
1994. Its hours are Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Admission is $4.50 for adults and $3.50 for children
ages 6-12.
What can one expect to see upon entering this
mysterious museum?
Among the dim lights, hardwood floors, and clas­sical
music are antique maps that would peak any­one’s
interest.* There is also a gift shop in which peo­ple
can buy map related items and even original
maps. According to Hess, Heritage is the only
museum in the World where people can buy “authen­tic
orignals.”
The oldest map at Heritage dates back to 1493.
There are maps by Ortelius, Mercator, and Lewis and
Clark. Some of the maps that Hess highlights in his
museum include:
✓ 1522 World Map — the first to use the name
America.
✓ 1600’s map showing California as an island.
✓ 1630 Virginia map showing a Susquehannock
Indian.
✓ The first English map of Australia in 1748.
✓ 1550 map of the Holy Lands.
✓ 1875 Lititz map, using the spelling Litiz.
“The kids like the Caribbean maps because they
think of pirates,” said Hess. He said that some have"
been used by treasure hunters.

RICHARD REITZ ___________
Record Express Editor
A 42-acre linear park and trail in
Warwick Township is a giant step
closer to realization, following
approval of a $78,935 county grant to
develop a park north of Lititz Bor­ough
from Market Street to Newport
Road.
Lancaster County Commissioners
announced their grant awards for the
Community Parks Inititative on July
5, which provides municipalities and
non-profit organizations with a 50
percent matching-grant for projects.
Later that evening, Warwick5
supervisors reviewed the first hard
copy of formal plans for the park,
which has been discussed and
debated for several years, butis only
now beginning to take shape.
“This is a tremendous step toward
becoming a reality,” Township Man­ager
Daniel Zimmerman said. “It
will be a nice addition to the town­ship
park system,” which currently
has two municipal parks.
The county grant was slightly low­er
than the township request of
$84,835, and Warwick was one of 14
county projects to receive nearly
$900,000 in grant money for the
acquisition or development of local
parks and open spaces.
When the concept was first prop­osed
about four years ago, some resi­dents
along Market Street were con­cerned
about parking for the park, its
location on and near the flood plain,
buffers, and the need for public
restrooms.
Though they still have concerns,
some of those residents, in atten­dance
at last Wednesday’s meeting,
told supervisors they are satisfied
with the progress being made in the
development process.
“After the first couple of meetings,«
this looked like it was going to be a
disaster,” said Brian Eidemiller, 1
Brookfield Drive, whose property
borders the proposed park. “Now it
looks like a lot of thought has gone
into it.”
He and others expressed parking
concerns, and Eidemiller said he
doesn’t want a situation where peo­ple
are using his property as a short
cut to their vehicles.
“Something to limit street parking
would be appreciated,” he said.
James Nearhoof, 218 E. Market
St., said the plan has gone from

Lititz youths Erin Jennifer Keesey
and Shawn Nies were among those
injured in a two-bus accident in Ban­gor,
North Wales last Tuesday, July
4.
They were two of 73 students and
guides on board who were participat­ing
in an educational trip sponsored
by the People to People organization.
Several of the travelers were taken to
the nearby Bangor Hospital.
According to Erin’s mother Sha­ron
Keesey, her daughter reported
that she had sustained several broken
front teeth. The hospital put a type of
covering on Erin’s teeth to alleviate
some of the pain, Sharon said, but a
visit to the dentist will be in order
after she returns home.
“For July Fourth, it wasn’t very
fun,” Sharon said.
The children were allowed to call,
their families the day of the accident.
Greg Nies, father of Shawn,
talked to his son the day of the acci­dent
and learned he had suffered a
few scrapes on his nose and shin, but
nothing serious.
The group was apparently on its
way to Holyhead, Wales, where it
was to board a ferry and go to Dublin,
Ireland. The students had already
seen England and Scotland
beforehand.
Because of the accident, they
arrived one day later than scheduled
in Ireland. Plans were changed in that
advisors with the group decided to
put the students in a Bed and Break­fast
Inn, rather than having them stay
with Irish families.
“They thought some of the child­ren
might be too traumatized,” Sha­ron
Keesey said.
That news was a little disappoint­ing
for the Keeseys, because Erin had
made a pillow which she wanted to
give to her Irish homestay family.
